3 Tips for Choosing a Black Round Dining Table

Are you considering a round black dining table for your kitchen or dining room? Black is a classic finish color that creates contrast to wood floors and pairs well with any existing colors. Adding a black round dining room table set instantly updates a tired dining area without a complete renovation.

At Dutch Craft Furniture of Berlin, our team of Amish furniture makers in Ohio build handcrafted dining room tables. From small drop leaf tables to large round table sets for 10+, we offer a wide range of black round extendable dining tables. Explore our detailed guide to help you choose the best black wood round dining table for your space.

Make it a Hardwood Black Round Dining Room Table

When selecting a black round pedestal table, take the time to understand the type of wood used. Black finishes make it easy to hide a lesser quality soft wood or engineered wood products. Make sure you select a round table in a strong, durable hardwood. Amish furniture makers offer a variety of American hardwoods like Oak, Walnut and Hickory for all tables.

A handcrafted, hardwood round dining table will last for many years. The quality wood materials and timeless construction methods of Amish furniture making create heirloom round tables. Refinish an old, tired looking hardwood table to look as good as new.

Black finishes are available on all wood types. For a sleek, modern feel with little to no visible grain variation, consider Maple wood. Browse black round pedestal tables like the Global, Ellington, and Carlisle tables featuring Maple wood and Ebony stain. From a distance, Maple wood with Ebony stain appears to be a true black paint.

Adding a black stain like Ebony or Rich Tobacco on Oak or Hickory creates the same rich, dark tones. The natural grain texture and variation of Oak and Hickory add dimension and character to the black stained wood. This slight variation hides small scratches and knicks better than a smooth black Maple tabletop.

Black finishes for farmhouse round tables often include a rub-through, lightly sanded areas that appear worn over time. Sanded edges and corners of pedestals allow the natural color of the wood to add contrast with a black finish. Our black round Global dining set shines in Maple wood with Ebony stain and natural rub through on Maple wood.

Consider a Black Round Pedestal Table with Wood Top

Consider a round dining table with black base and contrasting wood tabletop. We often recommend choosing a 2-tone round table with your choice of wood stained top and a black pedestal base. Classic black and wood color combinations include Michael's Cherry, DC Driftwood, Golden Brown and Cocoa Light.

Many black tabletops have a sleek, even color tone with little to no wood grain variation. With daily use, black tabletops will accumulate small scratches and knicks over time. This is true with even the hardest of wood types. The black finishes show these scratches sooner than a wood-stained tabletop with grain and color variation.

Black pedestal bases instantly add contrast to dining rooms with wood grained floors. The neutral dark finish creates rest for your eye and adds contemporary style and depth. This allows you to choose a wood tabletop to match your cabinets or floors without overwhelming the space with too much wood. Wood-stained tabletops shine with the black pedestal, especially when adding black wooden dining chairs.

Customer favorite black and wood round table sets include the Newport Round Dining Set. Shown in solid Maple wood with an Ebony-stained pedestal, the contrasting Cocoa Light top adds a natural wood tone. The Newport pedestal style features a wide footprint at the top and base of the pedestal, while keeping the center slim. This design allows chairs to push in all the way without hitting the pedestal and keeps the table rock solid even when extended.

If your vision includes a black tabletop, consider a distressed wood table with added texture. The saw marks and other distressing details add dimension that will hide small scratches in the top. The Alberta large round table is a classic with a plank distressed table top in dark colors like Rich Tobacco.

Add Flexibility with an Extending Black Round Dining Table

Round dining tables are typically available with one leaf to extend the table into an oval shape. The hinged leaf folds in half and stores flat inside the tabletop when not in use. Tables extend easily with gear driven slides that make it easy for one person to add the leaf. Leaf sizes for round tables vary from 12-18" wide depending on the style of the table.

Common sizes for black extendable round dining tables include 36", 42", 48", 54", 60", 66", and 72" round. Measure your space carefully to consider the best size for your black round dining table. The most common size for 4 people is a 48" round table. 60"-66" round comfortably seats 6 people and allows your dining chairs to fit neatly.

Extra small kitchens and dining rooms may benefit from a black round drop leaf table. Instead of opening from the center of the table, drop leaf tables feature hinged leaves on the sides. When lowering the leaves, a drop leaf table will be rectangular and push flat against the wall. A drop leaf round table is ideal for 1-2 people on a daily basis, easily extending for 4 people when lifting the leaves.

All black round pedestal tables are available in multiple sizes. Amish furniture makers carefully test pedestal bases with various size tops to ensure a strong table. Our craftsmen encourage custom requests, so contact us for a quote on sizes not yet shown online. Some round tables are available with additional leaves, though more than one leaf will not self-store in a round table.

Complete your black round table set with your favorite chair style. All wooden or upholstered dining chairs may pair with any black round table. Shop modern black chairs like the Millcreek Windsor and X-back styles or traditional favorites like the Austin or Arlington chairs.

Dining chairs are available as side chairs or with arms. Round tables typically function best with all side chairs, making it easier to fit chairs neatly underneath the table. Consider adding matching arm chairs as an extra seat in the living room or home office. Move the arm chairs to the dining room when adding the leaf to extend your round table.

Upholstered dining chairs like the Emerson and Parson add softness and comfort that encourages lingering at dinner. Most solid wood black dining chairs are available with a fabric seat only. Browse durable, easy to clean fabrics like Breken and Melody featured on a variety of chair styles. Go even more low maintenance with a leather seat or even faux leather, making occasional spills easy to clean up.

When creating a black round dining table set, add storage with a matching solid wood buffet or China cabinet. A black dining hutch creates a stunning focal point in a large, open floor layout. Custom made dining furniture allows to create a cohesive feel in your space. Add bar stools along your kitchen island in the same black finish as your table.
